...game was called at 2.35 Saturday afternoon. Harvard won the toss and took the western side of the field with the wind in her favor. Yale starts off with a run by one of the rushers which is followed by a run by Beecher which gains a good deal of ground for Yale. Dudley downs Morrison and Gill, the latter gaining ground, however. Morrison gains nothing, but Beecher breaks through and makes a touchdown behind the posts, from which Watkinson kicks a goal. The ball is placed in the middle of the field, and Holden, by two rushes, gains twenty...
...shore back to Brattle St., where the break was made. Part of the course lay through marshy ground, whereby the hounds succeeded in soaking their paws. Master of the hounds, A. B.

Then, it must be remembered that Princeton beat Yale last year, and that her rush-line, whose magnificent playing won the game for her last Saturday, is probably stronger than the Yale rush-line. This point, together with the fact that our backs as well as our rushers, have had time to improve as much between the game last Saturday and the game to-day as they did between the Wesleyan and the Princeton games, ought to make everybody come out to see the game with a confidence that they are going to see the prettiest game they ever...
...playing hard in the beginning, and scoring first, if possible; while last year's Yale-Princeton game should teach them that even if Yale should be fortunate enough to score first, that does not prove that they are going to win. A game is not lost till it is won. The game is played on our own grounds, and the team will have the support of all the men in college, and of all the graduates who can possibly get here, all of whom have confidence in the team, and feel sure that it is only necessary for the eleven...
